Gabe turns 5

We celebrated, and then we celebrated some more! First, instead of a party, Gabe chose to take a family trip. I'm guessing he may not make that same choice on future birthdays. We went to the Great Wolf Lodge in North Carolina. It's a themed family resort with an indoor waterpark. What more could a 5 year old ask for?

Fun at the arcade.

Wolf ears at dinner. All the servers sang to Gabe. He was not expecting it, so it was quite a treat. Not to mention the icecream they gave him.

Waterslide. Gabe had no fear.

Gabe and Erik stood under this countless times.

And she's done.

Grace, happy to be out of the water.

I've always wondered what it's like there. Would you recommend it? The pictures are awesome, especially the one of cute Grace in her yellow swim suit.
If you ever find yourself in Concord/Charlotte again, you'll have to let me know. We could meet up for dinner because it's only an hour from my house. :)

It looks like such a fun place for kids. I'm sure they had a ball! (BTW, your prego belly is so cute).
